THE way things stand, Indian Olympic Association (IOA) seems to be heading towards resolving issues that had been plaguing the body for quite some time.
The IOA delegate, athletes' representative and the Government of India had a meeting with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Tuesday and it is understood that the meeting went off well. One major decision was the IOC agreeing to allow the IOA amend its constitution to include "necessary governance reforms". The IOC is hopeful that things will be resolved before the executive board meeting in December.
The IOC, in a mailed statement to this daily, said: "A joint meeting between the IOC, the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA), a representative of the Indian athletes, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) and the Government of India took place on 27 September 2022 in Lausanne.
"All parties agreed to work together to address and resolve the governance issues affecting the IOA, and hold the IOA elections by December this year, in line with the directives given in the IOC EB decision on 8 September 2022," the statement said.
